West Bengal BJP President Dilip Ghosh on Sunday, once again lashed out at the Mamata Banerjee government calling the situation there worse than Kashmir.

While talking to reporters after a BJP event at Baranagar in North 24 Parganas, Ghosh alleged that the state has become a hub of 'terrorists and anti-nationals'.

He said, 'The other day six Al-Qaeda terrorists were arrested from Aipurduar (in North Bengal). A network has been formed in several places of the state. Even Bangladesh leader Khaleda Zia has said the terrorists are being trained in India and sent to Bangladesh to create disturbance. This state has become a centre of terrorists, and anti-nationals. They are coming here from other places and taking shelter. The situation of Bengal is now worse than Kashmir.'

Dilip Ghosh added that the people of Bengal were living in a state of fear.

'Even my name was included in the hit list of the anti-nationals. I have been attacked in Jaygaon in Alipurduar district where Rohingya Muslims were placed. If you watch the video of the incident carefully, you can identify them through their appearances that they are not from Bengal,' said Ghosh

He added that West Bengal has abundant Rohingyas, and other infiltrators who caste their vote to Chief Minsiter Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC).

'It is very alarming that a few political parties are giving shelter to the terrorists and anti-social elements.'

However the state BJP President seemed confident about the party's performance in the upcoming Assembly elections that are going to take place in 2021.

Ghosh expressed confidence in the people of the state saying they know 'which party to vote for' even if all other parties collectively contest against the BJP.

On AIMIM’s President Asaduddin Owaisi’s announcement to contest the next election in West Bengal, Ghosh said, 'Many things can happen. Several political parties cane come here and contest. That doesn’t matter to the BJP. Our party has created a good atmosphere to conduct polls. Around 45 per cent people of Bengal cast their votes for the BJP. They have full faith in us. The TMC, CPI(M), Congress, AIMIM, all the parties can merge together. The party, which wants development, will be on one side and which want to create unrest will be on another.'
